The Sun System Handbook is intended to be a single source resource for information on Sun hardware products. The Sun System Handbook: Internal/Partner CD is derived from the online version of the Sun System Handbook currently located on a Sun web site, and it is designed to be a reflection of the web site for ease of use.
The Sun System Handbook: Internal/Partner CD uses Java[tm]-based technology and a web-server framework solution to make the Sun System Handbook experience virtually identical on multiple operating system platforms. No disk space or installation is required to use the Sun System Handbook: Internal/Partner CD.
Note: The Sun System Handbook CD has not been fully tested on Mac OS X or RedHat Linux, but it does work on both operating systems (run the syshbk.sh script from a terminal window).
Refer to Accessing the Sun System Handbook Without a Search Engine if your system does not meet the system requirements or if you don't need to use the search engine.
If you want to use the CD's search engine, you will need to have JRE 1.3.1 or higher installed. To check whether your system has the required version
of JRE installed, enter the following command in a terminal window (Solaris)
or DOS window (Windows):
|
java -version |
If JRE 1.3.1 or later is not installed on the system, go to Installing JRE.
The Sun System Handbook CD has also been tested running under JRE 1.4.2 and 1.5.0.
JRE 1.3.1 is packaged on the Sun System Handbook CD in the jre131 directory. The installation file is in shell-script format for Solaris (j2re-1_3_1_02-solsparc.sh) and a self-extracting executable for Windows (j2re-1_3_1_02-win-i.exe).
Note: You must run the JRE 1.3.1 Solaris shell script from a directory where you would like the files to be installed. Also, after you install JRE 1.3.1 on a Solaris system, make sure the directory where you installed the j2re1_3_1_02/bin directory is part of your path environment variable. Refer to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.3/install-solaris.html for detailed installation instructions.
This procedure depends on JRE 1.3.1 or later installed on the system.
Insert the Sun System Handbook CD into the CD-ROM drive.
The File Manager window should display.Double-click the syshbk.sh icon in
the File Manager window.
Note: Instead of using File Manager, you can also change directory into the
/cdrom/cdrom0 directory using a terminal window and run the syshbk.sh script.
The Sun System Handbook Server window displays. This is used to start
the web server for the search engine.
Point a web browser to the following
URL:
| http://localhost:8652 |
Whenever you are finished using the Sun System Handbook, click the Stop button on the Sun System Handbook Server window to stop the web server for the search engine. The web server will automatically stop if the system is rebooted.
This procedure depends on JRE 1.3.1 or later installed on the system.
Insert the Sun System Handbook
CD into the CD-ROM drive.
Open the CD with the file manager.
Double-click the syshbk file.
The Sun System Handbook Server window is displayed. This is used to
start the web server for the search engine.
Point a web browser to the following
URL:
| http://localhost:8652 |
The Sun System Handbook License Agreement
page is displayed.
Note: You may encounter a problem accessing the Sun System
Handbook CD when using localhost with a Proxy server. If so, you must
set your browser to not use the Proxy for localhost (when using Netscape
4.x, choose Edit->Preferences, choose Advanced->Proxies, click
View for Manual proxy configuration, and enter localhost in
the "No Proxy for" field).
Whenever you are finished using the Sun System Handbook, click the Stop button
on the Sun System Handbook Server window to stop the web server for the search
engine. The web server will automatically stop if the system is rebooted.
If your system does not meet the software requirements or you do not not need to use the search engine, all you need is a browser to view the contents of the CD.
| path_to_CD/syshbk/webapps/syshbk_cd/index.html |
The CD image file can be mounted directly for testing or performance purposes by using the loopback file driver (lofi) mechanism. You will need to have "root" permissions to perform the lofiadm and mount operations.
We could not fit everything from the Sun System Handbook web site onto the CD. Links with the small world globe icon require access to the Internet.
For questions or issues with the CD content or enhancements, send e-mail to ssh-feedback@sun.com.
If you are a Sun authorized service provider, the terms of your agreement with Sun determines how many users per CD you may have. Generally, it is one user per CD.
